In Pb--Pb collisions, resonances allow one to probe the temperature and time evolution of the fireball. Transverse momentum spectra have been analyzed for $\\kstar$, $\\phir$ and $\\xstar$ resonances using data from pp collisions at 7 TeV collected by the ALICE detector. A comparison with Monte Carlo event generators shows different levels of agreement for meson spectra, while $\\xstar$ is always underestimated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-21T15:17:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.38.Mh", "25.75.Gz", "25.75.-q" ], "keywords": [ "pb-pb collisions", "alice detector", "resonance measurements", "pp collisions helps understanding hadronization", "collisions helps understanding hadronization mechanisms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0954-3899/38/12/124077", "journal": "Journal of Physics G Nuclear Physics", "year": 2011, "month": "Dec", "volume": 38, "number": 12, "pages": 124077 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 914330, "adsabs": "2011JPhG...38l4077P" } } }
